Blind Companion is a daily checklist and reminder app designed for blind and low-vision users. It helps turn everyday tasks that need a quick double-check into simple, spoken, actionable, and reviewable flows. Useful scenarios include: Before leaving home, check your phone, keys, white cane, earphones, and ID or card. During the day, review door locks, stove, appliance power, taps, and windows. Before work, check your phone, earphones, computer or tablet, charger, and documents. Before bedtime, review door locks, phone charging, items for tomorrow, alarm, and water cup. For medication, record whether it has been handled as instructed and keep a local daily record. Key features: Today Hear what is still pending today and what comes next. Checklist Flows Use built-in templates for leaving home, daily safety, work, bedtime, and medication checks. Action Records Completion, skip, remind later, and undo actions are recorded locally for review. 30-Day Local History Records are stored on your device and kept for up to 30 days. VoiceOver Friendly Designed to work well with iOS VoiceOver, with clear labels, simple navigation, and accessibility actions. Speech and Haptics Uses iOS system speech, VoiceOver announcements, and haptic feedback to make actions clearer. Bilingual Support Supports Follow System, Simplified Chinese, and English. The interface and speech language can be changed in Settings. Blind Companion is built to help blind and low-vision users reduce repeated checking effort and complete important daily routines with more confidence. Note: Medication check features are for reminders and records only. This app does not provide medical advice, dosage guidance, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations.

Hold one question in mind, take a breath, throw the coins six times, and read the hexagram. COINS THAT FOLLOW YOUR HAND Three worn Qianlong cash coins are driven in real time by the phone's motion sensors. Push your hand up and stop, and they fly on by inertia: tumbling, clinking, landing on the table, each impact with its own sound and haptic. Prefer not to move the phone? Tap the coins instead. EXACTLY FAIR Every coin is exactly fifty-fifty, guaranteed by a cryptographically secure random bit. How it works is explained in plain language inside the app. A READING YOU CAN FOLLOW Which text applies is decided by Zhu Xi's seven rules for changing lines. Every text is shown three ways: the Chinese original, a literal English rendering, and a reading in plain words that follows Zhu Xi's 12th-century commentary line by line. It adds no promises the text does not make and softens none of its warnings. THE WHOLE BOOK IN YOUR POCKET All 64 hexagrams: judgment, Tuan commentary, the Image, six lines and the small Image commentary. Available in Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese and Korean. The Chinese text was collated against two standard editions; the English was translated fresh and does not reproduce any published translation. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO It does not predict events and it does not decide for you, and it is no substitute for medical, legal or financial advice. The text offers a way of looking at your situation. Fully offline. No accounts, no data collected, no ads.
